Perry Ellis International announced it has entered into a new licensing agreement with The Levy Group Inc to design, manufacture and distribute men's outerwear, top coats and rain coats in the U.S. and men's outerwear in Canada under the Perry Ellis and Perry Ellis Portfolio brands.
Oscar Feldenkreis, President and COO of Perry Ellis International, said: "Outerwear is a key component for the Perry Ellis lifestyle, and major area of opportunity. The Levy Group, one of the most successful outerwear companies in the department store channel, is the right partner to interpret in outerwear the look that has made Perry Ellis the number one neo-traditional brand."
The Levy Group Inc is the largest privately-held outerwear manufacturer in the United States. They license many high profile fashion brands and have extensive private label business with most of the nation's largest retailers.
"We are very excited to be working with Perry Ellis to create coats and outerwear that reflect the combination of fashion and value that the consumer has come to expect from all Perry Ellis products," Donald Levy, president of The Levy Group Inc concluded.
Perry Ellis Men's outerwear and topcoats will be available through major department and specialty stores nationwide for Fall 2008.
